Problem with Glitches / Low Res when uploading to Youtube -Video has noise / scatter effects applied

Question

I'm working on a music video and I have an adjustment layer on top of everything with Noise HTS (5% on Hue, everything else is 0) + Scatter amount at 2.0, Randomizing on Every Frame. I wanted these to create a certain aesthetic for the video. The video was exported with H.264 1920 x 1080.

However, once uploaded to Youtube I noticed random parts glitching, dropping to an extremely low resolution / coming out boxy and blurry, and the scattering of the noise freezes. These problems (sans one glitch at the end) don't appear in the render /preview, only when uploaded to Youtube.

What can I do?

Well, you simply have taken a bad design approach. It's not even the noise, it's things like the skinny lines of your fonts. There are simply limitations to dealing with compressed footage and YouTube re-compressing your footage on their servers and generating multiple versions of it sure doesn't help. Again, you need to change the design and use a different font, move the text around and animate them, perhaps a moving background and so on. It's all about disguising these artifacts as best as one can. Technically they''ll always be there. You can only work on making them less noticeable.
